Truth be told, I'm lactose intolerant. Too much cheese will cause me quite a bit of pain. Rather than taking a pill to fix this, I've limited my cheese intake. But, when I do indulge, I only ingest the best. This comes into play with music as well. We've all surely reached our saturation point with at least one genre of music. But you'll notice that after having removed something from your diet that was once a major staple, every so often you're going to have to satisfy a major craving.

With a stranglehold-grip on the compilation disc scene, around the end of 2001, Disco House has a groove that few fans of any style of dance music could resist. Todays selection is a representation of pure Disco House: bouncy dance floor beats synced with live horns, synthesized string sections, wawa petals, dank bass lines, ensemble ambiance, and singers who know nothing but the moment. We've got a few 'classic' tracks from the heart of the movement as well as some more recent cuts that have felt the Disco House ripple effect.

I can certainly testify to the mild cheese factor that's evident in some of these tracks - but once you get past this speed bump the groove just pulls you in. Timing in at exactly 75 Minutes - look no further for solid uplifting party beats. Mixing this into a progressive session may have been too easy.

Stay tuned.
